Reebok Pumps had the basketball on the tongue.

Nike experimented with inflation methods on the collar, IIRC using external pumps.

RC vehicles, balls with an eye bolt & string w/ a sling shot, and fish tape/poles were key things for the miles and miles of network cable I ran in a previous life.

To add on to the pull string.. if there is a remote chance you have to run a cable the same direction again in the future, try to leave a pull string in place when you pull all the cables initially.

Older Intel macs stored the SSIDs as UEFI vars, I think even the T2 ones did too but I might be wrong.

Ahh yes, there was that kind of thing as well. SUSE provided us with ways of replacing all packages on a RHEL running system with SUSE augmented CentOS packages. It was often used by people who wanted a cheaper alternative to RHEL, but still wanted CentOS for their random 3rd party apps.

PEC is amazing. We are on San Marcos's service now, but during the nasty winter storm we never lost power with PEC. Where as other friends else where dealt with downed lines for ages.

Oncor is one of, I think 5 delivery companies.

Several cities and coops are their own delivery providers as well, PEC delivers most of their electricity if I remember correctly.

If you deal with ordering lots of Dell servers you can have them customize the BMC security settings(nearly any setting actually). I know of many people who have them either turn the legacy root password back on or use a password they tell Dell.

I insist on a certain boot order from the factory and have the initial pxe boot of the server lock down the idrac. It isn't perfect but it beats having someone pull and scan all those tags.

> The police don't know who that man was, or why he was on property that didn't belong to him. They're not mind readers

Exactly. They're aren't mind readers but they made a decision that he was commiting a crime or about to commit one. They escalated it, not him.

I don't know why but using Google Maps on my 6 Pro for navigation there is a chance it will complain about overheating then go into a degraded state followed by finally shutting down. It takes quite sometime before it will cooled enough to be turned back on.

It doesn't happen consistently and it seems to only happen when I'm actually driving with the navigation turned on. It's incredibly frustrating when it happens. I've tried different phone placements, even placing it directly in front of an AC vent but it still occasionally happens.

I usually don't charge it while driving but it has happened twice while charging as well.
